    No package for me today but that's OK. My BFF quilting buddy from Conneticut arrives tomorrow. I will be so busy I won't even know I am on the bench or even where the bench is!

    I am so excited I just have to share. My best friend has been so bummed because I have made everyone a bow tuck purse but her. I was looking for that perfect material, and I finally found it. I wanted material with jewelry on it. Here it is.

    Got a question for everyone... do you wait to sew for your SP so you can create in their favorite colors or do you make a variety of items and then send those? I am struggling as I have time to sew now for a couple of weeks but then May revision will hit at work and I will not see the light of day for April and May. Can anyone share how they do it? I so want my packages to be customized, but I have to work with in my personal parameters.

    Thanks for any suggestions.

    I waited and made something personal, this is my first swap and I wanted to make sure that I put something personal to my sp in. I am not saying that is right but I wanted to make it personal and put some thought into it.

    Have4 that is beautiful fabric and I"m sure she'd love it! As for making something for my sp, I usually wait to find out there favorite colors then I commence. I have thought like you to make multiple of the same in different colors that would save time however like you I struggle for time But anything you make is great!

    On another note thank you to those who gave input on the coffee mug sleeve. Yes I did see some on the websites but I don't have a copier to enlarge the pattern and d on't have the time to put extra measurements LoupEsprit I sent you a pm. I'm still waiting for my pkg but its not a week since the deadline. We got a big downpour of rain which we do need so its a great time for a nap!

    I've been planning on making a coffee cozy myself but haven't gotten around to it. May I suggest that you go to your local starbucks or 7 Eleven (or any place that you know of that uses the cardboard sleeve), and pick one up....you can use that as your template.....that's what I plan to do :-)
